Distance Learning

Please join educators from the Blank Park Zoo for this awesome ICN experience! Young students come skin to scales, fingers to fur with members of the animal kingdom. Learn how animals are divided into groups by their body coverings; mammals have fur, reptiles have scales, etc. Learn fun facts and meet live animals representing the mammal, reptile, amphibian, and bird groups. Wrap-up with a craft reinforcing the different animal coverings. The program also allows time for student questions, so come prepared.
